Ian Gourlay

Ian Gourlay has been with Lingwood Security Management for 23 years. Ian controls our fleet of vehicles and ensure our facilities meets with our 14001 regulations. Ian also deals with the day to day running of the control department. 

Ian originally started working with Alan Lingwood on the doors of Morecambe, where they were involved in providing security services to a number of key local venues.

As the business has grown over the years, into one of the UK’s leading security providers, so Ian has grown with the company, taking on more responsibility and ensuring our high standards are maintained across all jobs.

Speaking about his career at Lingwood Security, Ian said: “I’m always amazed when I sit back and reflect on what’s happened during my time here. It’s great to see how big the company has got and the exciting challenges that each new job brings. I thoroughly enjoy my work and the company is going from strength to strength. Unfortunately it has been at the expense of my hair! I’ve worked with some fantastic characters over the years, far too many to name here, but I’d like to thank all the staff for 20 great years and here’s to many more.”

When asked to describe himself in three words, Ian replied ‘honest and fair’. This sums Ian up perfectly. He’s a hard worker and very driven. He’s been an integral part of the business and been instrumental in its growth.
